Yeah that sounds good but are there available any such apps that
supports some sort of photo uploading with categories and tags?

If you are going to use some sort of local app to handle all photos to
server then of course you also need to access at least subset of those
features from web interface.
I'm in favor on extending that resources handling to support different
media better and then adding some existing or new API for handling
photo manipulation in client applications.
Intgreating some existing gallery e.g. gallery2 to typo seems pretty
overkill to me but I guess it depends how you do it. Plugins would be
good but it would then need creating some sort of plugin system first.
